Integrating ET 200 frequency converters into automation systems
with STEP 7
General information on STEP 7
STEP 7 is the basic package for configuring and programming SIMATIC automation
systems. It is part of the SIMATIC industry software. The STEP 7 basic package is available
in several versions. "STEP 7 for applications running on SIMATIC S7 300/400" is required
for integrating ET 200pro frequency converters. Additional information on STEP 7 is provided
in the STEP 7 manuals.
Integrating frequency converters into SIMATIC S7
Frequency converters are integrated into the network of a SIMATIC S7 control system using
STEP 7. Communication takes place either with the standardized communication protocol
PROFIBUS DP or through PROFINET IO. In PROFIBUS, the SIMATIC automation device
represents the master and the ET200pro station with the PROFIBUS interface module and
other components (such as frequency converters or I/O modules) represents the slave. In
PROFINET IO, the SIMATIC automation device is referred to as the IO controller and the
ET 200pro station with PROFIBUS interface module and other components, e.g. frequency
converters or IO modules, as the field device. Within the ET 200pro distributed I/O system,
the frequency converter is contacted through the ET 200pro backplane bus.
